About Me

I grew up surrounded by nature. Although nothing is permanent this fact has shaped the way I view the world and the way I live my live for the rest of my days.

I have a deep respect for the Planet Earth and for all that it represents. The pursuit of this idea of living in harmony with nature had impele me through a journey full of adventure. Camping, surfing, climbing, cycling and scubadiving are just a few ativities which brings me joy.

There are so many things that we can do with our lives that is difficult to choose a profession. However the fact that I have studied Civil Engineering on university and lately been in touch with permaculture make me belive that building self-sustainable shelters and design farms for communities would make me happy.

For now, I'm focus on travel and be in contact with new cultures, new places, meet new people and get inspired by their stories. Currently I'm backpacking and volunteering with my girlfriend in Southeast Asia.

It's never easy to squeeze who you are in such a few words, so if you want to read the full book please HOST ME. It would be a pleasure to share my story and listen yours.
